Winehouse denied visa for Grammys

Amy Winehouse will not perform at this year's Grammy awards ceremony because her US visa application has been rejected by the embassy in London.
The singer was arrested for marijuana possession in Norway last year.

A spokesman for the troubled star said she was "disappointed", but had "accepted the ruling and will be concentrating on her recovery".

Winehouse has been nominated for six Grammy awards ahead of the ceremony in Los Angeles on Sunday.

GOOD JOB! lol! Serves her right

They retracted that statement a few days ago. Her visa was approved, but she refused to come to America. And still will perform telecast.

Also a leading nominee – and not immune to personal struggles herself – Amy Winehouse is tipped by many to be a frontrunner in several of the six categories for which she's nominated (including best new artist and record of the year for her hit "Rehab"). And while the beleaguered Brit scored a visa late Friday afternoon, she won't be making the transatlantic flight; instead, Winehouse will be performing at the ceremony via satellite. "I'm really sorry I can't be there but I appreciate that I'm being given a second chance via satellite," Winehouse said in a statement
